HONORABLE GEORGE CARAM STEEH

JOHN DOE,
Defendant.
___________________________/
OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO CORRECT THE DEFICIENCY
Plaintiff is an inmate who was confined at the St. Clair County Jail in Port Huron,
Michigan when he filed his complaint but who has since been transferred to the Federal
Correctional Institution in Terre Haute, Indiana. On July 31, 2013, Magistrate Judge R.
Steven Whalen signed an order of deficiency, which required plaintiff to provide
sufficient copies of the complaint for service upon the defendants as well as sufficient
information identifying the defendants so that service could be effected upon them.
Plaintiff has now filed a motion for an extension of time to obtain the
documentation necessary to correct the deficiency.
A district court may, in its discretion, grant an additional thirty days from the date
of the filing of the extension order to allow the prisoner to correct the deficiency. See
McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F. 3d 601, 605 (6th Cir. 1997). Accordingly, the Court
grants plaintiff an additional thirty days from the filing of this order to file the necessary
documentation to correct his deficiency. Failure to file the documentation within thirty
-1-
days of this extension order will result in dismissal of the action.
